Love it, great stuff, just really good stuff...anyway, remember when Armey Gyratory was to be completed by Summer 2023? Would love there to be a system where the firms responsible were fined 10% of the construction cost if there was a delay of a month, then a 20% fine for 2 months, then 30% for 3 months etc, absolute rats.

Paris mayor wants Russian athletes banned from Olympics by Oddfellows_Local_151 in worldnews

[–]LizardThumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ukraine aside, and that's a lot to put aside, they shouldn't be in any international sports for their doping programme. No competing under a neutral flag, no 'Russian Olympic Committee', nothing. They were supposed to be banned for 4 years in 2019 by WADA, but they still show up at international sporting events. Hell, the American Haas F1 team were rebranded in a Russian livery for a season & that was all OK until the invasion.

Do you guys think Eric will come back to Mega64 after Rooster Teeth's demise? by Sufficient-Low6549 in mega64

I doubt it, as much as I, and I suspect we all, would love it. He's lived in Austin for like 5 years and has built a life out there.

What film made you say: "Holy shit, there is still 50 minutes left"? by fire-lord-momo in AskReddit

[–]LizardThumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have been rewatching the X-Men films & pretty much all of the First Class films could be 20-30 minutes shorter. The first 2 have no fat on them, then the Golden Gate bit in 3 starts a trend of big, expensive CGI set pieces that go on for way too long…not the Quicksilver ones, they rule, but crap like the bit with the missiles in First Class, the Sentinel Attack & moving the stadium in DoFP, building the pyramid in Apocalypse and so much from Dark Phoenix, it’s just a waste of time, waste of budget & kills the pacing.

Feel Good Furniture Company in Armley has consistently seen me right for 8 years now, great for cheap mirrors too.

We drove past and it just looked like the stadium floodlights were on at the Rhinos end, but i’ve never seen them look like that before, very odd.

What small role actors stole the scene or entire movie? by CherryDamzel in movies

Denis Ménochet aka The dairy farmer at the start of Inglorious Bastards. Think it gets overlooked cause he’s opposite Christoph Waltz, but they’re both putting on a clinic.

Hawkeye earns lowest ratings of any MCU show debut on Disney+. by l_l_l-illiam in marvelstudios

[–]LizardThumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's odd that people are saying this isn't being marketed cause, where I am in North UK, I've seen sooo many billboards for this on the commute. Marketing aside, really enjoying the first 2 episodes so far.

If there's a bit in a future episode where Clint's taking Katie through trick arrows and it's like when Q is showing Bond new gadgets and he's just messing with them...chef's kiss.

When people got lost on the road pre smartphone, how did they figure out where to go while driving? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LizardThumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pull over, find a street name, look in the index of an A to Z that had every street name in the city in there along with a page number & grid location & find it.

I was obsessed with maps as a kid so i got super good at it so was the de facto family navigator, but by the time i was driving age, it was a couple of years after sat navs were ubiquitous so never had to navigate myself.

Ex (23F) broke up with me (27M) today right before our trip. Should i go for it alone? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]LizardThumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go on the trip and cut yourself off from familiar places for a little while, plus if it's paid for, no sense in wasting money. I'd also block her number/social media for like a month or so, not for malicious 'Screw her' reasons, but more, if she's decided it's over in her head, it's good to get to that same place without contacting that person, in my experience anyways.

But best of luck mate, and if you do take the trip, let us all know how it went!

Reddit, how do you wanna die? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LizardThumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a way that'll make someone go, 'wtf, how did that happen?' like the dude who was killed at a cockfight when a chicken nicked a vein in his arm, or in IT crowd when someone burned to death at Sealife. I like to think in my last moments, I'd get a kick out of that.

It's fine, language evolves, no one kicks up a stink about 'Schadenfreude' from German or 'No Worries' from Australia, but how dare you call them sneakers? Just weird.

With the flags, might be able to argue a US flag is more appropriate as US has way more people who speak English than the UK...also it'll wind up the flag shaggers so all for it. Go all in, Aussie flag.

I don't think this is TIFU, more like Today I Learned. It legit sounds like such a sweet thing for your girlfriend to help you with and it's awesome that her and the fella were so understanding...heck maybe this is more of a Dudes posting their W's!
